Sicilian Pasta Salmon Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a heavy saucepan. Add the chopped onion and crushed garlic and sweat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until translucent.
• All the tomato passata or canned tomatoes, plus the anchovies, olives capers and plenty of black pepper, bring to the boil, then lower the heat right down and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the grill. Brush the salmon steaks with a little oil and grill for 6 minutes or until cooked through, turning once halfway through cooking.
• Meanwhile, steam the broccoli for 5 minutes or until cooked but firm.
• Serve the salmon with the sauce and steamed vegetables.
• Place the basil and lemon rind over the salmon. Serve.

Steps:

• You can either steam or roast the salmon, depending if you want to turn the oven on or not. To roast, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, place on a baking tray, drizzle with oil and roast for 12 mins until opaque and the flesh starts to flake when pressed. To steam, place the fillets skin-side down in a steamer, and steam over a pan of simmering water for 8-10 mins until cooked.
• While the salmon is cooking, boil the pasta for 10 mins until al dente, then drain, reserving 100ml of the pasta water.
• Heat the oil on a medium heat in a wide frying pan and fry the shallot for 6 mins until softened, but not turning golden. Add the garlic and fry for a minute more until fragrant. Add the wine, bubble for a few minutes until reduced by half, then add the cream and season well. Bring to a very gentle simmer.
• Flake the cooked salmon into big chunky pieces, leaving the skin behind. Add to the sauce with the cooked pasta. Add the lemon zest, a squeeze of the juice and most of the dill. Add a splash of the pasta water to the sauce to coat the pasta if you need to. Toss gently to keep the salmon in big pieces. Check the seasoning, if using double cream you may need a squeeze more lemon juice. Grind over some black pepper and scatter over the remaining dill. Serve with a green salad.
